I love your question! As a fullstack engineer you see the whole picture but for front-end developers it is different. As a front-end developer you need to know the three fundamental technology of the web{html,CSS and JavaScript},one tool for ui development {adobexd,InDesign,figma},some graphics tools(Photoshop,illustrator),you will use these tools for mockup and prototyping but in some organisations the UI/UX team is different from those that build the actual front-end but my advice is to learn it as a front-end developer. Also some important frameworks and libraries: one of reactjs or vuejs. Also get to know JavaScript web APIs like webrtc,fileapi,fetch, intersection observer,etc.
Get use to babeljs and webpack but if you feel webpack is too much then start with gulpjs. Also get to know about performance and optimization. Another thing I will advice you add to your skill set is building PWAs (Progressive Web Apps). You must love to learn!I which you great success!

Inasmuch as HTML and CSS are the building blocks of every web pages, can we consider them a frontend programming language??

HTML is a markup language not strictly a programming language. That means we use html to tell what something(text,image,etc) is but not what it does. It does not defined a variable neither can you loop over arrays in HTML.
CSS is styling language used to give a feel and design to HTML. CSS styles HTML period. CSS is also not a programming language.
Understand that the computer language are in varieties! But the computer itself only understands binary,0&1!
We can keep digging deep but suffice to say that HTML and CSS are not programming language as you can never you any of them to write a standalone program but you can use JavaScript,nodejs,PHP,c++,golang,etc. to write standalone programs!

Have a degree in Computer Science or similar field. Be proficient in coding languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. Understand server-side CSS. Be experienced with design applications.Surprisingly, I still see people on the internet wondering why the demand for front-end developers is getting higher and higher when their job is much easier than the one of the back-end developers.
